Getting Service

To get on our service schedule for any work from a minor repair or mod to a full Lithium upgrade, please fill out this SERVICE SIGNUP FORM . There is no obligation once signed up, and you can cancel anytime. We will only charge you once your service is completed.

For instructions on how to begin a Lithium and Inverter installation, please also read: Lithium and Inverter installation by STGNET as GDOC or PDF which includes a detailed shopping list of items to obtain from BattleBorn. It also includes fixed pricing for B-Haven installs.

After filling out the service form, Crystal will be in contact with you (usually within a week) to confirm scheduing options. For any questions on scheduling or service options, please email us: service@stg.net

Note: We are generally booked months in advance. Plese consider these helpful tips:

• Signing up as early as possible holds your place in line, and is required as the first step for all services.
• We have a new shop called "B-Haven" in Hohenwald Tennessee. It's open now, but work is still ongoing to improve the facilities. We currently stock all Lithium upgrade components, solar panels and controllers, parts for common mods, and Houghton air conditioners. If you can travel to us, it is generally possible to fit you into the schedule much sooner.
• Regardless of your location (within the US 48) we will travel to you to complete your service unless we can arrange to meet up at a common location.
• As much as is possible, jobs are performed in the order that we receive requests for.
• There can be a considerable delay between signing up for service and completion, based on multiple factors such as weather and travel distance. This can be as much as 6-12 months.
• Unfortunately, if we have just recently been to your location, or are currently there and are booked solid, it can mean an extra delay to accomplish other jobs in the queue before we can return to that area.
• There can be some delays for weather -- for example, northern locations being limited to non-frozen conditions.
• We will accomplish other services along the way if they are in the vicinity of our travels and do not cause a disruption of our existing schedule.
• You may wish to review our currently posted schedule (shown below, subject to change) to see if we will be in your vicinity or at a location that it would be convenient for you to travel to.
• For smller jobs, we recommend attending a rally that we will also be at for convenience and a small discount on the service rate (discount doesn't apply to parts).
• For larger jobs such as more than 2 batteries or inverter installs we cannot accomplish those during a rally, but may be able to schedule you for just prior or just after one.
• Please check with us prior to your service to confirm whether we can supply the parts needed or you will need to have those on hand.
• The map below shows locations we have visited in the last few years (purely for purposes of illustration). Note that we are not limited to only the locations where red dots appear on this map, but this does provide an idea of locations we more frequently travel to.

Otherwise, plese sign up as early as possible and we appreciate your patience with how long it takes us to get to your job.
